MacPaw launches Eney: a context‑aware AI sidekick for your Mac and iPhone

MacPaw, the company behind utilities like CleanMyMac, has officially launched Eney, an AI assistant for Mac and iPhone that quietly watches what you’re doing on your devices and then suggests the next useful action. Rather than being a traditional chatbot, Eney is an “agent‑style” tool: it reads local context such as open apps, incoming notifications or upcoming calendar events, then prepares actions you’re likely to want next.

Crucially, Eney is designed to ask before it acts. Every operation still requires a user confirmation, which MacPaw highlights as a guardrail against the fear of “runaway” automation. The Mac app is available via MacPaw’s own site and the Setapp subscription, while the iPhone version ships through the App Store, with a 14‑day trial and tiered plans based on AI credits.

MacPaw cites research suggesting that around four out of five US Mac users have already experimented with AI tools, and it’s pitching Eney as a pragmatic “AI layer” for everyday computer work. Example use cases include pulling up all the documents you’ll need before a meeting, surfacing frequently used shortcuts at the right moment, or turning your desktop into something closer to an intelligent command center than a static workspace.
